One of their best records - tracks like Behind the Wheel and Never Let Me Down Again made them alt stars. Strong effort start to finish.

From paladisiac 01/12/2012 18:40
Depeche Mode stretches out their sound dropping samples for synthesizers. The songs are grand, dark and cold, with complex storylines for "dance pop". (See "little fifteen" or "strangelove".) The roots of what made "violator" dark and cool and fun have large roots in "music for the masses".

From johnner 01/02/2012 19:08
DM's best album and the one that saw them finally enter stadium land. Tough and uncompromising, Masses was a further evolution of their sound - revisiting some of their favourite themes i.e. love, sex, death, and religion.

From an_outlaw 10/12/2011 20:24
Strangelove and Never Let Me Down Again were the best tracks. Not as dark as Violater and with a little less progresion in the tracks too.
